Château Talbot 2020 is a blend of 76 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 21 % Merlot and 3 % Petit Verdot, aged for 15 months in oak barrels [60% new]. Elegant and timeless, the wine bursts with aromas of flowers, tobacco leaf, currants, spearmint, and peppery blackberries. On the palate, it unveils a lively, medium to full-bodied character, revealing layers of sweet, juicy, and fresh black and red currants, complemented by savoury herbs, wet earth, and dark cocoa notes. With just a few years of bottle aging, it promises over two decades of enjoyment.
The 2020 Talbot was corked on the first bottle. The second has a refined and focused bouquet, with more black fruit than its peers. Cedar and light minty notes impart a Pauillac-like personality. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine delineation, lovely poise and a sorbet-fresh, high-toned finish. This appears to have meliorated since I tasted it just after bottling, hence the higher score. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024

The 2020 Talbot has a deep garnet-purple color. It sings of black cherries, fresh red and black plums, and blackcurrant preserves, followed by hints of spice cake, wild thyme, and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and refreshing, with just enough bright fruit and a lifted finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown13th March 2023
